Crisis
(Continued From Page 1)
threatening active trouble for
Britain perhaps on a line with
that in her other Mediterranean
colony of Cyprus. But most
charged Dom Mintoff, Malta’s
Labor (socialist) leader, as being
responsible for the impasse.
Christopher Hollis, Catholic
commentator on world affairs,
said in the “Spectator,” weekly
journal, that the next move
should be to hold a plebiscite.
Mr. Mintoff, who is now claim
ing independence, was elected as
Malta’s last Prime Minister on
the strength of his earlier plan
to secure constitutional integra
tion with the United Kingdom.
The socialists say that Brit
ain’s financial offer is not
enough to compensate for the
closing of the naval base. As this
closes down gradually over the
next couple of years, some un
employment is expected even if
the dockyards become commer
cial. A new wave of emigrants
may quit the island for the
English - speaking countries
overseas.
